Mogo Inc. ('Mogo' or the 'Company') (NASDAQ: MOGO; TSX: MOGO), a Canadian fintech on a mission to build the future of intelligent finance, empowering consumers to grow wealth through innovative financial products and a capital strategy anchored by Bitcoin, today announced it has completed a strategic investment of approximately 9% in Digital Commodities Capital Corp.

Digital Commodities' model is inspired by sound money principles and designed to offer public market investors access to the two most enduring stores of value in history, without dilution through operating businesses or speculative diversification. Mogo's investment reinforces the company's momentum and positions it to scale its hard asset balance sheet model in public markets.

This investment will be held alongside Mogo's other crypto-related investments, including its minority stake in Gemini, further advancing its strategic exposure to Bitcoin and the broader digital asset ecosystem. This also supports Mogo's broader vision as a dual-compounding platform, combining a high-growth fintech operating business with a strategic Bitcoin treasury. Earlier this month, Mogo announced board authorization to allocate up to $50 million to Bitcoin, reinforcing its long-term conviction in hard assets as the cornerstone of capital preservation and growth.
